But she's never played pitcher. She worries her skills would be compared to her dad's and she'd never measure up. And his pitching may mean big things for his career and their family, but it's also what keeps him away from home so much of the year. ... This summer, Lucy wants to learn to throw the perfect knuckleball"--
